Do firemen go into single family dwellings? Yes. Does anyone else beside Griff go inside his house? Yes. May children even be inside that building? Yes.

Cited quite accurately is why even single family dwellings require building inspections. Griff has no right building a home that could endanger other human life. But because we are so tolerant, we don't require him to take a decade of education. We simply let architects and inspectors correct his mistakes and show him how to build smarter. It does not take even the slightest intelligence to see what applied to the Beverly Hills Supper Club also applies to other large structures such as homes. What also burns down single homes? Mixing aluminium and copper wire inside walls - just like in the Beverly Hills Supper Club.

Homes are also large structures. Generations of experience and too many lost lives prove the need for inspections in single family homes. Griff is only bitching due to his right wing extremist viewpoint. Are you too as right wing extremist as to feel your rights supercede other human life?

Meeting inspections is so trivial when one learns basic construction knowledge. Why bitch about inspections when only fools would build so badly as to not meet code? What do stark amateurs do in Habitat for Humanity? Routinely build homes that routinely pass inspection. Or in the case of Homestead FL, build homes that even Hurricane Andrew did not destroy. Code and inspection are there for very good reason as proven by history - despite right wing extremist rhetoric about intrusive government.
